Onomatopoeia
“The Hippopotamus”
The huge hippopotamus lives without care
At a slow philosophical pace,
As he wades in the mud with a thump and a thud
And a permanent grin on his face.

One day at noon it went whisity click
Whisity whisity whisity click,
Click grr click grr click grr click

Onomatopoeia – “Barbershop”
When you visit the barber
and sit in his chair,
Don’t squirm
Like a worm
While he’s cutting your hair.
Don’t shiver
And quiver
And bounce up and down
Don’t shuffle
And snuffle
And act like a clown
Each wiggle
will jiggle
The blades of the shears.
Clip-clip,
Clip-clip.
Those scissors can slip
And snip
Off a tip
Of one of your tender
pink ears!
Onomatopoeia: “Sulk”
I scuff
my feet along
And puff
my lower lip
I sip my milk
in slurps
And huff
And frown
And stamp around
And tip my chair
back from the table
Nearly fall down
but I don’t care
I scuff
And puff
And frown
And huff
And stamp
And pout
Till I forget
What it’s about.

Onomatopoeia
“A Thousand Hairy Savages”
A thousand hairy savages
Sitting down to lunch.
Gobble gobble glup glup
Munch munch munch.
